Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem

Bhupinder Pal Singh mainly investigates Biochar, Agronomy, Environmental chemistry, Soil carbon and Soil water. His Biochar study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Soil organic matter and Vertisol. The study incorporates disciplines such as Alfisol and Leaching in addition to Vertisol.

His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nitrous oxide, Agriculture and Poultry litter. As part of one scientific family, Bhupinder Pal Singh deals mainly with the area of Environmental chemistry, narrowing it down to issues related to the Manure, and often Cow dung. His Slash-and-char study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Soil biology and Soil management.

His most cited work include:

  • An investigation into the reactions of biochar in soil (626 citations)
  • Characterisation and evaluation of biochars for their application as a soil amendment (588 citations)
  • Influence of biochars on nitrous oxide emission and nitrogen leaching from two contrasting soils. (557 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Bhupinder Pal Singh mostly deals with Agronomy, Biochar, Soil carbon, Soil water and Environmental chemistry. His work on Tillage and Cropping system as part of general Agronomy research is often related to Phosphorus and Charcoal, thus linking different fields of science. His work in the fields of Slash-and-char overlaps with other areas such as Amendment.

Bhupinder Pal Singh has included themes like Soil organic matter, Soil health, Crop residue, Nutrient and Soil horizon in his Soil carbon study. His Soil organic matter research focuses on subjects like Organic matter, which are linked to Clay minerals and Leaching. His research in Environmental chemistry intersects with topics in Soil pH, Bulk density and Manure.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Agronomy (81.82%)
  • Biochar (65.66%)
  • Soil carbon (64.65%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Agronomy (81.82%)
  • Soil carbon (64.65%)
  • Biochar (65.66%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Agronomy, Soil carbon, Biochar, Soil water and Nutrient. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Agronomy and Phosphorus in his research. His Soil carbon study combines topics in areas such as Soil organic matter, Cropping system, Environmental chemistry and Mineralization.

His Soil organic matter research focuses on Soil horizon and how it connects with Wetland, Phragmites and Soil health. Bhupinder Pal Singh interconnects Decomposition and Abundance, Relative species abundance in the investigation of issues within Biochar. His Soil salinity study, which is part of a larger body of work in Soil water, is frequently linked to Phytolith, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Rusty sink of rhizodeposits and associated keystone microbiomes (15 citations)
  • Nutrient stoichiometry and labile carbon content of organic amendments control microbial biomass and carbon-use efficiency in a poorly structured sodic-subsoil (12 citations)
  • Effects of contrasting biochars on the leaching of inorganic nitrogen from soil (11 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem

Bhupinder Pal Singh focuses on Biochar, Agronomy, Soil water, Amendment and Soil carbon. Bhupinder Pal Singh has researched Biochar in several fields, including Subtropics, Crop residue and Paddy field. Bhupinder Pal Singh combines subjects such as Agriculture and Soil fertility with his study of Agronomy.

The concepts of his Soil water study are interwoven with issues in Water pollution, Pyrolysis, Leachate and Eutrophication. His research on Soil carbon often connects related topics like Environmental chemistry. His Nutrient research integrates issues from Soil organic matter, Rhizosphere, Sorghum and Abiotic component.
